I got some antique magazines at an estate sale, and last night, looked through a few of them. One of them was a farming magazine from the 1920s, and its classified ads included one for FREE SHETLAND PONY! Just send a letter, and we’ll send you your very own horse!

Most likely, they were pictures, if they sent anything at all.
